Does this 1909 S vdb appear to be authentic. The weight is a little off at 3.100 grams and it doesn’t look very worn. Looks to be die pair # 4 to me. 
Thanks in advance.

Not genuine.

Wow, the counterfeits are getting too good. Thanks!
The seller (to his/her credit) clearly states it’s a reproduction and not genuine

The “S” is too open for starters

Also the mint mark is in the wrong position for it to be genuine.
That's a subpar one compared to many others that are out there.

S should be more boxy and square than this

Agreed. Not a good counterfeit at all.
Bogus. The dots in vdb are to mushy, the s looks rushed to me. Nyet, pass
no good

Point of order - the seller states it’s a reproduction. So, fake.

At that point, why ask?
Not even a close call.
The rims, the softness, the overall look and the spacing between the periods in the VDB are all wrong. That's what jumps out to me first. Look how the bust just fades into the field by the date.
